In Brighton Road, a lady author gives a stern and proper lord a lesson in the art of romance, while in The Sugar Rose, a fastidious aristocrat tries to help a young lady win the heart of the man she... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I have not read the Sugar Rose but I must admit to having liked the Brighton Road quite abit. Of course the heroine is ditzy but I really liked her spirit. Truthfully I have a friend with same penchant for blurting out things, an unconventional family, intelligence masked behind little common sense and a real thirst for adventure. I love her impetuous nature and I love this heroine as well. The hero is a bit stiff as I imagine many of his class are but he unbends enough to make this a very pleasant, light read and definitely a keeper. marie

This book is definitely a keeper for me, only for the second story. If you could buy just "The Sugar Rose" then it is more worth the buy. "Brighton Road" is entirely forgettable and the heroine was so silly that I could not understand how the hero fell in love with her. The second book, however, was wonderful! I would give it 5 stars if it stood on its own. I have read it several times. The heroine begins as a shy, overweight and self-conscious lady, but with the help of the hero, who always saw the good in her, she blossoms. Ms. Carroll truly knows how to write so that you FEEL for the characters. The heroine was intelligent, humorous and plucky and the hero gentlemanly, funny,and sexy. I loved their interaction. Definitely worth the time!
